Forecast for the Uintas Area Mountains
Wednesday, February 15, 2017
While not widespread and making up a small portion of the terrain available to ride in today, in the wind zone, on steep leeward slopes, pockets of MODERATE avalanche danger exist. Both new and old wind drifts will predictably react to our additional weight and human triggered avalanches are possible. Heads up... once triggered, today's avalanches may fan out and entrain a bit more snow than you'd expect.
On the south half of the compass expect the avalanche danger to rise to MODERATE and human triggered avalanches become possible on steep sunny slopes as the day heats up.
